1. The Native American Medicine Wheel The medicine wheel also represents the four races of man of all of the nation’s people. Yellow for those people in Asia, white for those from Europe, black for those from Africa, and Red for those from the Americas. The medicine wheel depicts many important values in Lakota society while maintaining the importance of interconnectedness between the people and nature. Let the Lakota society live in the natural world instead of the European man’s world that they are something they are not.
